Note 32 — GEORGE CATTERMOLE
Reading edition
Macready, upon whom the death of Little Nell had a painful effect, was much impressed by this illustration, as an entry in his diary testifies: "Found at home ... an onward number of 'Master Humphrey's Clock.' I saw one print in it of the dear dead child that gave a dead chill through my blood. I dread to read it, but must get it over."
